Sending off Zhu Ji's little man, Pei Yan sat there and thought about the next work for a while, went to the east yard to find Pei Laosi, took the small hoe at home, and first went to dig the pits for planting melon seedlings, and then planted seedlings when the sun was a little weaker. `

When the seedlings were planted and the soul water was poured again, the sky darkened.

Pei Yan picked up the big broom and cleaned the yard with empty flower pots thoroughly. Sitting in the clean and refreshing courtyard, watching the sunset that has sunk to the west.

In April, the surrounding hills are full of fresh greenery. In the kitchen of the neighbor's house, the smoke rises from the cooking stove and the mist rises from the foot of the mountain, and there is a sense of tranquility and seclusion.

was sighing, and suddenly heard a sound of cars outside the courtyard, and then Pei Yu, who was playing at the gate of the courtyard, cheered, "Dad and brother are back." ”

Su Shi walked out of the kitchen and smiled at the two masters who entered the door, "You two are really calm, you have been gone for more than ten days, and you don't want to send a letter home." ”

Pei Mingyuan unloaded the car, tied the donkey to the stake in front of the door, and said with a smile, "This is still going to buy lime today, it just happens to be gone, and it will not arrive until the day after tomorrow." I only came home because of such a vacancy. ”

Pei Yue smiled and handed over the oil paper bag in his hand, "This is the cousin of the Song family who went to see the progress and brought it over today." ”

Su Shi took a look, but it was an oily and fat roast chicken. And he saw his eldest son, who was dark and thin, and he was strong. Dressed in the short clothes that peasant boys often wear, although his face was more cheerful, the charm of the earlier school was much less.

I feel a lot of emotion in my heart. But he was afraid that saying it would make him feel uncomfortable. He changed his anger and said, "Even if it is given to you, you can eat it, and what are you going to take it home for?" ”

Pei Mingyuan said, "You can't go home for such a long time, and you will go home empty-handed, right?" As he spoke, he patted Brother Yu'er's head, "Dad is not at home these days, do you miss Dad?" ”

Pei Yu, who was staring at the roast chicken and drooling, heard this. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and said in embarrassment, "Yes." "I went to stare at the roast chicken in Su's hand again.

Pei Mingyuan laughed angrily and gave him a back pocket. "I don't think you want to."

Pei Yu thought about it seriously and said, "I don't seem to think like that." ”

provoked Su Shi to laugh, Pei Mingyuan was depressed, "It's only been a few days since I left home." My son doesn't want me anymore. ”

Su Shi said, "Xiaowa's family, what do you know?" Besides, I follow Yan Yatou all day long, going up the mountain and into the water, having fun, how can I miss you. ”

As she spoke, she handed the roast chicken to Pei Yan and said, "Let's tear it up and put it on a plate for Brother Yu'er to eat, see that saliva is flowing for a long time." ”

Bae Yan washed her hands. I tore the roast chicken, and the rice was ready.

When the dining table was set in the courtyard, the family sat in the summer afterglow, eating dinner, and saying goodbye.

First, I heard Su Shi talk about a family affair and Pei Yan's sale of flowers. Then Pei Mingyuan talked about the progress of the Song family's house again, and said that the foundation pile had been laid, and the green bricks and tiles had been purchased.

Some masons have also been recruited in Qingzhou Mansion, and the foundation stone of the main house in the backyard has been laid, waiting for the lime to be bought. The construction began.

Speaking of this, Pei Mingyuan paused and said, "When I went to Fucheng to buy lime today, I ran into Wang Guiwu. ”

Su Shi laughed. "It's evil today. Since you broke up, I haven't mentioned him much. I'm talking about him one after another. He asked Pei Mingyuan again, "What is he going to do?" Buy lime too? ”

Pei Mingyuan shook his head, "No, it seems that the family team has also rested and gone to Fucheng to find work." ”

Su Shi said busily. "His person has already been verified to be inauthentic, don't ask him to say a few more words and pull him in."

Pei Mingyuan smiled and leaned at Su Shi and said, "You are the same as those clairvoyant ears." ”

Su Shi frowned, "What?" Did he really talk to you? ”

Pei Mingyuan nodded, and seeing that Su was in a hurry, he hurriedly said, "I didn't answer him either." Besides, with what he did before, it is impossible to respond to him. ”

Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy, "He is used to pestering people. If you really want to do something, you can pull down your face and put down your body, don't be soft-hearted. ”

Needless to say, Pei Mingyuan, who had already called Wang Guiwu for a long time, already had a deep understanding of it, so he nodded.

After dinner for a while, while the sky was still bright, Pei Yan took Pei Rong and Pei Yu to pull Pei Yue to show off her newly fidded ivy bonsai and newly opened melon fields.

Su Shi hugged his youngest son and sat in the courtyard with Pei Mingyuan talking.

Thinking of what the Huang family said today, the Su family couldn't help but ask Pei Mingyuan, "Have you heard Brother Xian say in Fucheng, what about the family affairs here?" ”

Pei Mingyuan shook his head. Su told him what Huang had heard, "I think my brother-in-law has an idea to trap the second brother and sister-in-law." ”

Pei Mingyuan was surprised, "No." Brother-in-law......"

Su said, "The dog jumped off the wall when he was in a hurry." No matter how kind a person is, he has a temper, doesn't he? ”

This Pei Mingyuan agrees. After meditating for a while, he sighed, "Well, let's leave it alone." Let them go. ”

But as soon as the words fell, one of the parties who didn't care came to the door. Pei Lao Er hurriedly came in and said to Pei Mingyuan, "Third child, it just so happens that you are back, Ming'er, you and I will go to Song's house." ”

The things listed on the dowry list brought by the Song family, Pei Lao Er didn't know how much it was worth, but he could ask. I was annoyed at home for a while, and I took the list and hurried to the cloth shop in the town.

The shopkeeper gasped when he saw it, and Jian Jian calculated it for him, and he would get three or four hundred taels of silver.

Pei Lao Er is so angry, isn't Song Dayong a pit person? The dowry was only three hundred taels, and Zhanyan wanted to get back the dowry of three or four hundred taels. I want to go to Fucheng immediately to the Song family and ask Song Dayong and Pei Mingxia in person.

No one in the family was willing to help, so they found Pei Er and his wife again. But the second old lady Pei and his wife didn't know the inside story of this family affair at first, and they also heard people talking about it in the past few days, so they refused to go again.

Not only did they refuse to go, but they also blamed Pei Lao Er for hiding it from them, and let them become wicked people without knowing it.

Pei Lao Er begged for a long time, but neither of them spitted. He was discussing with the Zhao family at home, and Ming'er went to Fucheng in person, and heard that Pei Mingyuan had returned.

As soon as I raised my feet, I found the third child. I also want to take advantage of the friendship he has with the Song family these days, and discuss the dowry with Song Dayong again.

Pei Mingyuan had already made up his mind to ignore it and not mix it, so no matter what Pei Lao Er said, he blindly shirked it. It just means that the child leaves early in the morning, and there are still a lot of things waiting for Fucheng.

Pei Lao Er saw that he blindly refused to admit it, and he didn't know where to sprinkle his anger, so he put the thick dowry list on the ground, and said angrily, "Do they want to talk about this family matter earlier!" It's only at this point that these things are used to manipulate people. ”

Hearing the sound of Pei Yan, who came from the courtyard in the east, she pouted speechlessly. People have already indicated that their attitude is good, right? It's up to you to stick it up.

If there are difficulties, you have to go up, and if there are no difficulties, you have to go up if you create difficulties.

Now they insist on climbing the height that they can't climb, and blame the person who doesn't allow them to climb, and draw the ladder, really!

Because he didn't bother to pay attention, he lifted the curtain and went into the house.

As soon as she entered, Pei Yue, Pei Rong and Pei Yu also followed. The four brothers and sisters lit the lamp at the door, and talked about gossip after saying goodbye.

After a while, Su Shi also came in with his sleepy little son in his arms. Coaxed his youngest son to sleep, and sat and worked under the lamplight, talking and laughing with his children.

Outside, the two brothers held each other in silence for a long time, and finally Pei Lao Er was defeated and left angrily.
